ACTIVATED SLUDGE RESPIRATION INHIBITION TEST
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatmea;y also be referredtoas PFOS, FC-95, oras a component ofFC-203C and L-5440. (I-Octanesulfoniaccid, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptadecafploutoarsos-i,um salt,CAS # 2795-39-3)
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was 501. The testsample is L-5440. Currentinformatioinndicatesitisa mixtureof 1.47% test substance,60% water,30% diethyleneglycolbutylether,3% sodium octyl sulfate3,% hydroxyfoamer, 10% polyoxyethylenemonooctylphenylether, 0.12% sodium laurylsulfatea,nd 0.05% benzotdazol.
The followingsummary appliesto the testsample as a mixture of the testsubstance inwater solutionwith incompletely characterized concentradon of impudties. Data may not accuratelyrelatetoxicity of the testsample with thatof the fluorochemical component.
METHOD:
Method: 3M Protocol,Reference EAR 11/8f79 Test type: Staticacute GLP: No Year Completed: 1981 Analyticalmonitoring: Dissolvedoxygen concentrabons Statisticamlethods: Graphed Test organism source: Activatedsludgemixed liquocrollectefdrom the Metro Wastewater Treatment Plant,St.Paul,MN Test condition:
Dilutionwater: Deionizedwater. Syntheticsewage: Not used. Reference and testsolutionpreparation: A stocksolutionofthe testsubstance was createdby dilutin0g.60 grams oftestsample to 100 mL withdilutiownater. Itisnot noted exactlyhow the 1,000 mg/L testsoluton isprepared from thisstocksolution. Test vessels: Not noted Number of concentrations:1 plus 1 blank control Temperature: Not noted Total suspended solidsand pH on day of testing:Not noted Element Basis: Respirationinhibitonas determined by oxygen consumption.
RESULTS
Nominal concentrations:Blank controland 1,000rng/L Element values,. No acute inhibitoreyffecton acbvated sludge

Element values based on nominal concentrations.
Remarks: Testingwas conducted on the mixtureofthe testsubstance as describedinthe testsubstance remarks field.The values reportedapply tothatmixtureand not thefluorochemicalproportionalone.
CONCLUSIONS
The testmaterialexhibitedno inhibitoreyffectat 1000 nig/Lover a 6minute exposure.
